About: I got my first cat when I was just 8 years old, gaining full responsibility of her at 10 years old. I am now 19 years old and have had the pleasure of taking care of hundreds of pets (mostly dogs)! For about 6 months I was a kennel technician for a kennel which generally had about 60+ dogs in it. I bonded so much with every dog, most breaks I would just go into a kennel of dog who might've been skittish and try to bond, they really liked that. At this job, I mostly cleaned kennels but also fed dogs/cats their specific food requests and documented it on sheets. On the other hand, I was a dog caretaker at a small business in Austin where I would take up to 7 well-behaved dogs (that's all my car could fit!) to a nearby trail and let them off leash to explore. At the commercial space, I monitored 15+ dogs playing, making sure no one got hurt (or somewhere they shouldn't be!). This job taught me the most about dogs and dog behavior. I'm currently living in Austin with a part time job I limit to Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. So, I prefer to reserve Mondays and Wednesdays for taking care of furry friends! This helps keeps my days organized. Currently, I have lots of availability for evening walks on Mondays and Wednesdays I love animals! I will give your pet lots of love and do as intstructed, whatever is needed! If you request that I give your pet a special treat, I will. I have learned behaviors of pets over the years that I have cared for them, every pet is different but I learn quickly! I will not be able to house your pet because I live in a dorm.
“Where do I start on how wonderful Sheena is with my 3 dogs, Foxy, Houdini and Freddie! My dogs lover her and she goes above and beyond to make sure they have fun, do their business and the dogs are ready for bed with no muss or fuss! Sheena's photos each day are so good, she just captures them and how thrilled they are to be with her! I recommend Sheena highly and would give her 100 stars if I could. You will not be disappointed if Sheena is available to help you with your pups. Jo”
“Christine has been so great with my pup. She is always willing to help out with check ins and is really good about documenting the visit and providing photos. I can rest easy when I’m away knowing that my pup is in great hands!”
“I cannot say enough about Lauren and how great she is with our pets. We range from super friendly to shy and aggressive and she handled each with love and care and won everyone over. She took great care of them and cleaned up the occasional messes and left our house super clean. She cared for five dogs, three cats, and a duck across two houses and didn’t miss a beat. We will book her again in a heartbeat!”
About: Time and love! Recently retired with nothing but time and excitement to care for others’ beloved pets, especially because I don’t currently have any of my own. I have a large, fenced in backyard in the quiet hill country. There is a lovely trail for taking walks, and I love to take the pups for rides in the car! I’m experienced in administering and staying on top of medications and treatments. My daughter has two dogs that she sometimes brings for visits. So, if your dog is social, there is an opportunity for playtime with fellow furry friends. Caring for your pets would be my one and only priority. I spend the majority of time at home, and exercise is very important to me so I hope your dog loves to walk! Safety and affection are priority. Keeping a close eye on your pet and always making sure all needs are met is a guarantee when you put them in my care!
“Alexis has totally put me at ease taking care of my two pups. They both have some quirks (anxiety and no concept of personal space) and meeting with her and seeing her intuitive nature, ability to read their body language, and strong communication + positive attitude gave me a lot of confidence in having her in my home with my boys. She sends lots of pictures and provides a full update - so happy to have her at home when we can't be there!”
About: I’ve always had a dog, they are may fav!! My most important title is dog mom!! Caring for dogs is part of my usual daily routine Available prior to work (6-8am), after work (4-10) and on the weekends. I do work during the day but am flexible!! :) I can stop in and hang out, go for walks, etc. Love to go for walks, cuddle, and vibe at home with the dogs! I have dogs of my own but look forward to caring for others dogs as well.
About: Accumulated experience of 8 years with pet care for various persons. Personal experience with adult dogs and cats, as well as assisting in raising and training younger animals. I work full time but I am available on the weekends and after work. I’d love to take your dog on a walk for lunch or play with them before/ after work. I am able to crate animals and keep them safe. I will respect your space while also making sure your dog has a enjoyable time.
“Kaleigh is absolutely amazing!!! We have absolutely loved having her for our pups. She is incredibly thoughtful, kind and cares so deeply for the animals (and people) she supports. If you are looking for someone who will love your pets as her own, then look no further. We truly cannot say enough amazing things about Kaleigh!”
About: I've taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was 10. Neighbors relied on me to let their dogs out while they were gone! I prioritize pet care and love to make sure the doggos get plenty of exercise and stay healthy! Give me the cat food recipe and I'll mix it. I leave everything as I found it when pet sitting in house and ensure that your fur babies have a safe and fun time! I send lots of cute pictures so that you can have plenty of cute updates to share with family, friends and coworkers.
About: I’ve had experience dog sitting for my neighbors for several occasions for the past three years, basic potty breaks and feeding every morning, afternoon, and evening. I’ve also have experience with house sitting and yard care. Throughout my life I’ve had dogs of varying breeds, sizes, and temperaments, so I can adjust to whatever needs your pooch needs. I’m currently a commuting college student at Texas state, so I’m pretty used to driving distances during my day to day life. During the weekdays my classes start early morning and end around noon, so from 11am to 2pm onward I’m free for your pup(s)! For food and potty break drop ins I’ll let your pooch out/ feed them in the morning at 6:30 to 7:00 in the morning, then a second time around 11:00 to 2pm depending on the day of the week, and then a third time around 7:00 pm. For overnight stays I’ll let your pup out for a potty break and breakfast at 6:30 to 7:00am before I have to leave for classes, during the time I’m away your pet will be in the crate or free roaming depending on your crate policy. I’ll return around 11am to 2pm and let your dog out the crate and walk them. I can also do general cleaning and maintenance around the house.
“Courtney took my request last minute when our prior dog sitting plan fell through. She was extremely responsive and made me feel comfortable that my two dogs would be well taken care of. I loved getting the updates and photos from each visit and being able to communicate between visits. My dogs were clearly comfortable with her, and were able to play, cuddle, and be themselves while I was gone. It gave me great peace of mind of my travels to know they were so well cared for.”
“Highly recommend Colleen! both our dog and cat were very comfortable with her. She even noticed our Maine Coon cats tendency to "get into stuff" and report back to us, so there were no surprises. We are very comfortable having her in our home taking care of our fur-kids while we're out of town.”
“Alexia was amazing. She was responsible, friendly, and a great communicator. She sent pictures of my cat Hamburglar every day which really put my mind at ease. I fully recommend her. She was amazing!!!!”
“My cats were healthy, happy and well taken care of by Blayne. Opal says “yes, bring her back! Warm lap and she knows right where to scratch my ears!” Azeriphale wants another round of chase the toy mouse!”

Megan was great with Bruno! You can tell that she has a lot of experience with dogs since she understands different body language and behaviors. She is definitely a dog person and we love that. She was responsible with her visits, reliable and took good care of our dog and our home. She would speak to Bruno in a very kind way, give him belly rubs and play with him! Thank you Megan for taking such good care of our Bruno! Woof!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Driftwood stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Driftwood choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Driftwood with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
